Technically, it does not matter how you name your global compiler variables. However, if you wish to maximise the benefit of using them, then you better make sure that the same name always means the same thing!
Example:
If you call the location of your wxWidgets installation #wx, and two other developers call them #wxwin and #wxwidgets in their projects, then somebody compiling all three projects will be prompted three times for the same thing. This is obviously less than optimal.
